phpStorm problems with php-cgi

Question

So I recently change to ubuntu and I am trying to setup my environment again and I manage to install LAMP and phpmyadmin and phpstorm.

But what I can't mange to do is to run the php script from phpStorm when I try to run the program the page gives me a "502 Bad gateway" error and when I go back on phpStorm it tells me that php-cgi was not found.

I have tried to fix the problem but couldn't find any solid answer and I am so confused right now

Also I have successfully added the php interpreter and the xDebug

Answer 1

on linux ubuntu

For PHP5: sudo apt-get install php5-cgi

For PHP7: sudo apt-get install php7.0-cgi

Answer 2

I faced with the same problem. After replacing /usr/bin/php5-cgi with a little shell script I found that error

Host 'localhost' has multiple addresses. You must choose one explicitly! Couldn't create FastCGI listen socket on port localhost:56468

After commenting 127.0.0.1 localhost in /etc/hosts the problem seems to be solved. After commenting IPv6 hosts the problem seems to be solved:

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts # ::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback # ff02::1 ip6-allnodes # ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
